• Undertake pro-active workforce planning to maintain and enhance continuity of care for clients
• Dissemination of weekly rosters
• Maintenance of rosters
• Ensure confidentiality is maintained at all times.

We are committed to offering an enjoyable, safe and flexible workplace that provides a work-life balance. When you are working with Wintringham, you will have access to the following benefits:

• Access to exclusive not-for-profit salary packaging: salary package your personal expenses up to the amount of $15,900.
• Excellent training and support: Wintringham will provide you with essential training when you come on board and will continue to support you throughout your role.
• Free access to wellbeing services + discounts to retailers: When you are employed at Wintringham, you will have access to our Employee Assistance Program, Staff wellbeing portal as well as discounts to some of Australia’s top retail brands such as JB Hi-Fi, Kmart, Myer, Target and Woolworths.

What we will require from you:

• High level computer skills 
• Ability to relate to staff all levels
• Ability to work at a high level of autonomy, prioritising work within established policies, guidelines and procedures
• Ability to work in a team environment
• Ability to handle difficult situations
• Ability to maintain a customer service focus under pressure
• Excellent communication, interpersonal skills, diplomacy and tact
